Let us guess… you used to go to festivals but now some rock tots and young punks are cramping your style? Don’t leave them at home. Bring them to Splendour with you!

At Splendour in the Grass, children aged 12 and under get in for free! We have families covered with a chilled-out camping area, Rock & Roller Wagons, babysitting, Little Splendour (a festival for kids within the festival) and more.

BUT FIRST…PLEASE REGISTER YOUR CHILD

Want extra peace of mind that your little rockers will stay safe while they’re living it up at Splendour?

This year we have set up an online register for all Children aged 12 and under so we know exactly how many little people are on site during Splendour. We need all accompanying adult guardians to register your child’s details along with your own name and mobile contact details. In exchange you’ll be sent a PDF to print and pop into your little one’s pocket for the duration of the festival. That way, in the unlikely event of your young punk wandering into the Craft tent, we’ll know who to call. Head here to register your details and you’ll receive your emailed 2018 edition Little Splendour participation certificate. Plus, there’s the added cool points of giving your youngsters an awesome show-and-tell item for school. Bonus!
